We now have killer wind instruments

Met One Instruments , a very cool company in Grant's Pass Oregon that makes very high end and accurate meteorological instruments excitedly responded to the challenge and have jumped in full bore to help us document our NALSA record runs.

We just received from them 3 stunning 034B combo instruments that will be mounted on the Blackbird (2) and also on the chase vehicle (1). Compared to the Davis instruments that we have been using, these beauties appear to be made by the Gods -- the smoothest bearings I've ever seen and perfect mass balancing on the vane (critical to our moving application) After confirmation testing by NALSA, the output of these calibrated instruments will be transmitted back to the data base station (manned by Nalsa official) to determine the speed and direction of the winds local to the vehicle.

Accurate instruments are key to any record that is based on a wind multiple so we are extremely grateful to Met One Instruments for this wonderful and generous contribution to the project.
